McCarthy Says GOP Holdouts Would Squander Majority

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said the potential handful of GOP lawmakers opposing his bid for Speaker stand the risk of “squandering this majority” when it comes to the Republican takeover of the House in the next Congress, The Hill reports.

Said McCarthy: “Right now, it’s actually delaying our ability to govern as we go. So I’m hopeful that everybody comes together, finds a way to govern together. This is what the American people want. Otherwise, we will be squandering this majority.”
